I think it should work well with PropertyManager
Usage (works for me):
- Define your own edit form
- Derive your class from PropertyManager
- Add a propertysheet to a class instance, eg.:
def __init__(self):
self.propertysheets.manage_addPropertySheet('advanced', 'advanced')
- Add a prop:
advanced.manage_addProperty('something', 0, 'int')
- Do something with your propsheet, eg. update it:
adv = self.propertysheets.get('advanced')
if REQUEST is not None:
return self.manage_advancedForm(
REQUEST,
manage_tabs_message='Advanced Settings updated.',
)
- Or read a property:
self.propertysheets.get('advanced').something
If you're having problems just shout.
cheers!
peter.

No I tried that.

I tried both int numbers 0/1 and strings '0'/'1'

I'm currently trying to create a ZBibliography product.
Every class should have a base class which defines the basic properties
in two property sheets 'data' and description'.
For example: the 'data' property sheet currently stores 'persons', and
'title' while the 'description' sheet stores for example 'languages'
(tokens), 'offprint', and 'public' boolean attributes.
I'm not shure if this works: I wanna extend the properties stored in the
'data' sheet in the subclasses 'book', 'article', etc.
Please be patient because this is my first python program.
I hope this helps
Eric

Here are parts of my code:
Properties for the 'desc' PropertySheet
self._descprops = (
{'id':'source', 'type':'string', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'languages', 'type':'tokens', 'value':'en', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'files', 'type':'lines', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'keywords', 'type':'lines', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'references', 'type':'lines', 'value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'abstracts', 'type':'text','value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'annotation', 'type':'text','value':'', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'classification', 'mode':'w', 'type':'multiple selection',
'value':'', 'select_variable':'categories', 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'offprint', 'type':'boolean', 'value':0, 'mode':'w',},
{'id':'public', 'type':'boolean', 'value':1, 'mode':'w',},
)
Properties for the 'data' PropertySheet:
self._dataprops = (
{'id':'persons', 'value':'','type':'lines', 'mode':'w'},
{'id':'title','value':title, 'type':'string', 'mode':'w'},
{'id':'title_transl', 'value':'','type':'string', 'mode':'w'},
)
